Drama Centre graduate Shardae Santos stars in Commentary.

“My degree allowed me to establish meaningful relationships with creatives and prepared me for an industry that is constantly evolving. I got to immerse myself in culture and theatre during my studies, and I remember getting to see STCSA shows and hoping that one day I’d be the lucky one up on that stage.”

Now, Shardae is living that dream.

FROM THE KITCHEN TABLE TO THE STAGE

25 – 26 September 2026

A powerful collaboration brings together State Theatre Company’s Blak State initiative and Adelaide Festival Centre’s inSPACE program. Through this partnership, artists Jacob Boehme (Narungga/Kaurna), Natalie Harkin (Narungga) and Tracey Rigney (Ngaririndjeri/Wotjobaluk) explore ways of developing works for stage drawn from personal, family and local histories.

This two-day creative workshop invites First Nations participants to explore how personal, family and local histories can become powerful works for the stage.
